He simplified it to 10,000.

Correct.

Now, you could have a pilot that does deliberate practice, passes the simulator, check whether they fail the engine, and they say, yes, you passed.

And he goes, that scared the hell out of me.

I never want to see that again.

Now, that is insufficient.

If you're learning, you want to practice something until you can repeat it.

In the military, they have to practice the things that are really scary so that the

Soldiers are not scared when they see it, right?

Look, if you ever interview an SAS soldier- I did last week.

You'll notice how calm they are.

They're not excitable because nothing can excite them.

Their amygdala and their fear circuit's been almost shut down because they're confident they can handle anything, right?

So how do we know?

Knowledge, training, experience.

Experience is critical.
